Latest Rating and Reviews

Easy Access Account

Needs to be faster

Really like the Aldermore service however I did feel the online experience was less than I would have expected. It felt less feature rich than you might expect and the system was on on slow side.
Thanks.

Easy Access Account

Excellent all around

After checking best business savings online, I found Aldermore to be the top provider. Following more research and speaking with the company, I applied for both an easy access and a fixed rate account. The application was simple and efficient.

Easy Access Account

Simple and straight forward banking

I set up an account with one of the high street banks recently. What a frustrating and tortuous process. Opening the Aldermore account was pleasantly surprising as the bank did what it said it was going to do and in a timely fashion. Please don't aspire to be anything like the high street banks!

Easy Access Account

Making my money work harder

I was looking for an easy access savings account for spare cash. Aldermore offers an Internet based service which is easy to join and use with no notice required for withdrawals.
I like the option of choosing longer term deposits with higher rates if I want to lock in deposits for the longer term.
